Groupon Guide

Thanksgiving dinner is one of life’s great treasures - not only do you get to celebrate everything you’re thankful for with friends and family, but you get to top it all off with stuffing and gravy and a big piece of pumpkin pie. If you wish Thanksgiving happened more than just once a year, then you’re in luck. Here’s a list of Seattle eateries where I get my turkey dinner fix any time of year:
Bakemans Restaurant: Pioneer Square is in the midst of hipsterfication, but Bakemans Restaurant was around way before it was cool to eat delicious food south of downtown. Bakeman’s is a little hard to find (it’s hidden away in a basement under a bank) and you need to get your order straight before getting in line (seriously, no substitutions), and I’ve had the owner call me “kiddo” on numerous visits, but it serves up one of the greatest turkey sandwiches (cranberry sauce optional but recommended) in Seattle for under five dollars. And don’t even think about not ordering pie - they’ve got a rotating selection of homemade pies that are to die for.
Gobble Restaurant (Woodinville): Who knew that you could find an entire restaurant dedicated to turkey out in wine country? Gobble Restaurant serves up a Carved Turkey Platter for just $10.99 any time of year, so you can get your fix any time.
Now Make Me a Sandwich: One of the best-named food trucks in Seattle also serves up an entire holiday between two pieces of bread. Their Thanksgiving Sandwich consists of turkey, bacon, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, and rosemary aioli and proves that the only thing that can make Thanksgiving even more awesome is bacon.
Witness Bar: A new addition to Capitol Hill, this Southern cocktail bar may not strike you as a place to get your Thanksgiving fix, but one bite of their Stuffing Fritters will make you a believer. Full of buttery bready goodness, they are made even better when accompanied by something from the Witness cocktail menu.
Radiator Whiskey: Want to nosh on a giant turkey leg like Fred Flinstone? Then cozy up to the bar (or grab a table) at Radiator Whiskey and feast on the Turkey Drum Confit. You’ll feel like it’s the holiday season (or like you’re at a Renaissance Faire) no matter what month it is.

Seattle’s adventurous diners and growing Indian population can break naan together at an ever-broadening list of Indian restaurants. Old standbys include Cedars, where diners enjoy curries and traditional Indian specialties from the tandoor, plus a selection of Mediterranean choices like falafel and kabobs. Capitol Hill’s Nepalese-influenced Annapurna, with its thali plate (an Indian bento box of multiple dishes) and saffron-infused cocktails, is another longstanding Seattle Indian food tradition.
Seattle’s Indian options, however, are moving decidedly upscale. New eateries offer the usual dim lighting and high prices, along with complex cocktails, wine pairings and rich spice mixes that keep tongues guessing. The restaurant group overseen by Vikram Vij – whose flagship restaurant in Vancouver was lauded by The New York Times as one of the best Indian spots in North America – has planted a flag in Seattle's growing South Lake Union neighborhood with Shanik. The contemporary Indian restaurant caters to its corporate neighborhood, but serves much more than the usual cookie-cutter fare.
Diners nosh on complementary housemade snacks in the back bar while nursing cocktails like The Bollywood 411, which melds mango, pomegranate and Prosecco. After securing a table, eaters move on to starters like curried deviled eggs, while soaking in an entrée menu that offers a balanced mix of vegetarian and fresh takes on meaty classics like braised goat or roasted lamb. Shanik has also opened a to-go and prepared foods counter, where the neighborhood’s thousands of Amazon employees and other workers can grab hot vegetarian curries or fenugreek chicken at lunch, or bundle up packages of frozen chutneys and fresh spices to take home.
At Poppy on bustling Capitol Hill, diners can launch into a geographically indeterminate meal featuring Indian spice-rubbed Berkshire pork ribs, eggplant fries or a Northwest farmstead cheese plate, before finishing off with a warm date cake. And for his Northwest twist on thali, chef Jerry Traunfeld offers multiple options nightly, all centered on regional bounty. On a given night, you might find a small dish of mushroom-crusted paneer with kale, chard and apple, or a duck and chanterelle basteeya. Then there’s the thali dessert plate – a mix-and-match affair of cake, ice cream and small sweets.
The restaurant’s blonde wood tables, exposed brick walls, and modern industrial look reflect the menu’s marriage of cultures both old and new, and its Seattle sensibility of restaurant-grown produce in an urban setting. It also represents a changing attitude about the wonders of Indian food, and what it means to dine beyond the usual plates of tandoori chicken.

Locals looking for a relaxing afternoon out, visitors looking for the best views, and wild food enthusiasts alike will find common ground in a day trip to Bainbridge Island. Looking back at the city as the ferry pulls away on its 35 minute journey, even a city snob will find it hard to resist an adventure begun by boat, taken by foot, and finished with blackberry-stained face slurping island-grown oysters at one of the best restaurants in the region.
After hopping off the ferry on the island side, taking the first left onto the waterfront trail offers a pleasant walk into town. In summer, blackberries and salal berries grow wild along the path, ripe for snagging and snacking. The ten-minute walk into Winslow winds lazily along the waterfront, with a park on one side and Elliott Bay on the other.
Along the way, in the marshy inlets and on the shoreline at Waterfront Park where the path ends, sea beans (also known as samphire or sea asparagus) spring up, and goose tongue greens are sprinkled about. Abundant in these areas, both types of sea greens pack a salty crunch that is unexpected from such tiny plants.
After a healthy graze of the local flora, the natural first stop in town is Mora Iced Creamery. At the small shop, named by Food & Wine Magazine as one of the best ice cream spots in the country, townies, tourists, small children, and dessert-lovers of all strips line up for a scoop of the namesake blackberry ice cream or any of their huge variety of super-creamy, bold flavors.
Continuing from there to one (or three—since the whole trip is by foot) of the tasting rooms for local wineries is the natural next step for a full gulp of the island. The eight wineries located on the island are part of the Puget Sound AVA (wine growing region). With a car, one could head out into the rest of the island and see the wineries themselves (and the vineyards, in some cases), but by foot the tasting rooms in town are the best bet for sampling the local reds and whites.
To cap off the evening, a meal at Hitchcock Restaurant brings the idea of hyper-local food and island pride together with some amazing cooking. The name-your-price tasting menu winds up being an incredible value (often six or more courses for around $50). Included are hand-made pastas, island-grown produce, and house-made cured meat products. Even though the food isn’t strictly local, Food & Wine Magazine’s People’s Best Chef Brendan McGill brings an island pride—and excellent instinct for flavor—to every dish. The servers, too, love their island home—but they also are great about making sure any customer who needs to will make it out in time for the last ferries of the night. And at the end of the meal, an evening constitutional back to the ferry dock does a body good, but it is nice not to have to do it in a full-on sprint.
